Yep, would still all work ok. For example if I play my matrixbrute using my Keystep 37 (as the matrixbrute is behind me when sat at my desk) and add say a reverb plug in effects the matrixbrute as intended. All the MIDI connections are doing is determining what can trigger what 🙂. Hope that helps, cheers.

Hi - here's a couple of YT shorts I did with the Seaboard 🙂 kzfaq.infoptOvbv24F3k?si=nO062Fmnsa2nDe6_ kzfaq.infoywcbUWzZOqE?si=n4hcbLGfPPyES554

@@splootyvision those both sound great! Thanks!

Hi - it is a bit of a limitation, but is fine for playing some basic bass lines. There are 10 banks of presets so you could effectively program each bank for say a specific song, with each bank containing 10 specific bass notes; this does add in the complexity of remembering which bass notes are programmed to which foot switch and a bit of practice as the footswitches aren't laid out in 'keyboard' style as such. If you just want something to play a synth with your feet you may be better with a specific 'bass pedalboard like a Studiologic MP-113 (although they are about 3 times the price, which makes the FCB1010 a possible good compromise; given it can do many other things as well). In terms of holding notes, yep it holds the note for as long as you hold the footswitch down. Effectively when you press the footswitch it sends a ‘Note On’ MIDI message and when you release the footswitch it sends a ‘Note Off’ message - so it works the same as pressing a key on a keyboard. Hope that all helps 🙂

Yep, there certainly is. Just right click on whatever you want to control and it brings up a pop up menu with 2 options. Can either click on 'Learn' and then move a knob/fader etc on your MIDI controller and it instantly maps OR click on 'Control Change' and it brings up a list showing which actual MIDI CC is applied to that control. Cheers.

@@splootyvision Thank you very much 🌟

Hi - In terms of doing this in Cubase you can pretty much leave the MIDI channel input and output to 'any' for each of the MIDI tracks, no real need to assign the actual midi channel that the hardware synth is set to. All the synths are connected to the pc via usb and you just choose the relevant instrument as your input/output for each midi track you set up. Hope that helps 🙂

Hi and thanks. The hardware synths are all set to there own specific MIDI channels by going into the 'settings' one each one (it varies for each synth, but there's normally some sort of setting button/menu where you can set the MIDI channel for a synth). For the MIDI Keyboards (the Keystep 37 and the Keylabd 61) that you see me using in the video to trigger the hardware synths; you can change the MIDI channel on the fly and therefore which synth they trigger. For example the little Keystep 37 on my desk, you hold shift and then one of the first 16 keys on the left (which are numbered 1-16 corresponding to the MIDI channels). So if I press shift and the first white key I get MIDI channel 1 which triggers the MODX, if I press shift and the first black key I get MIDI channel 2 which is the Matrxibrute and so on..... Hope that helps and answers the question? 🙂

@@lanphanh Hi - for that you need a ‘Merge’ box. I’ve done another video on that which you can find here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d8Wpa9uYmODSiZc.htmlsi=oJfWww27Gia61rr- The ‘Thru’ box takes the MIDI out from one synth and enables you to send the signal to multiple other synths. The ‘Merge’ box takes the MIDI Out from multiple synths and merges them into one MIDI in on another synth. Hope that helps, cheers 🙂

@@splootyvision thanks!

@@lardosian Just connect it direct to your computer via USB 🙂. All need to make sure is when using it to play say a VST in your DAW you set it to a midi channel not being used by one of the synths you’ve got it controlling via standard midi cables. Cheers 🙂

@@splootyvision Thank you!

Yes there is 😊 I’ve got another video on my channel that covers the available editors. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g9t3naqK2tXLoHk.htmlsi=Ub4ylhRVHPZP087_ The 2nd and 3rd ones in the video are available for Mac (2nd one is free, 3rd one costs about €24 but you only need that one if you have the Uno chip in your FCB1010)

@@adiethammett91 Yep will still sound good 😊

@@splootyvision oh yeah thankyou sir. The panning is my problem btw. I din't know about panning in my song before. Now i panned my song and the result is really insane...

@@carcamovmusic Yep, you certainly can. You can move the tracks around, copy and paste them to extend the loop, edit midi notes add effects etc. Pretty much do whatever you want once you’ve recorded all the parts. Hope that helps 🙂

@@craigwojo211 Hi, not that I’m aware of I’m afraid. Sending a sysex file to the FCB1010 is a little convoluted as you have to put it in config mode (which requires rebooting the board) and then press 7 to put it in ‘sysex receive’ mode etc. The only way I could see doing it (for say a live gig) is to pre-program it before hand. There’s 10 banks, so in theory would cover 10 songs and if more needed you’d have to load another pre-programmed sysex during a break in the performance. Hope that helps.

@@thebarrylurveshow5530 Excellent stuff, hadn’t thought of that. The MIDI remote manager is actually really powerful. Glad you got it sorted 🙂

Dependant on what version of Cubase using this should be possible with an FCB1010 pedalboard. If you have Cubase 12 or 13 then there is a function called MIDI Remote, using this you can set up the FCB1010 to operate the transport controls in Cubase. Here's a link to a video I made on how to set that up: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q7upZNJp2LncqnU.htmlsi=uvQaW2lNzkHUP4Er In this example the FCB1010 is sending 'note value's to trigger the transport functions. But......each preset button on the FCB1010 can send 1 note value, 2 CCs and 5 program changes simultaneously as well as controlling 2 expression pedals. So, for example I have my FCB1010 set up so that when I press preset 5 it triggers 'record' in Cubase (by sending note value 5), but I can also get it to send a CC value at the same time. Just did a quick experiment and set up my FCB1010 to send a CC value to a piece of my gear (my TC helicon voicelive) to activate an effect when I press preset 5 on the FCB1010....and it works. When I press preset 5, record starts in Cubase and simultaneously the effect is triggered on the voicelive unit. Therefore it should work for what you are trying to do i.e. trigger record in Cubase and send a CC to your X32 at the same time to mute the outputs. You should also then be able to assign a CC to whichever preset on the FCB1010 you program for the 'stop' button in Cubase to unmute the X32 when you stop it. This way you can start and stop recordings in Cubase with the footswitches on the FCB1010 and the X32 should automatically mute/unmute as required. Hope that all helps and made some sort of sense 🙂

@@thebarrylurveshow5530 Just realised you do have C13pro, so should all work fine as per previous comments 🙂

Hi there, in theory yes it's possible. For example you could have your backing tracks/midi tracks (or indeed audio loops) set up in your DAW and you could use the FCB1010 to trigger those tracks in your DAW. As an example, here's a link to a video I did on setting up the FCB1010 to control the transport controls in Cubase. With this I can start and stop the tracks in Cubase, select individual tracks to either Mute or Solo them and use the pedals to control the volume of individual tracks or the overall master volume. Effectively this has the possibility of turning the FCB1010 into a sort of loop station when combined with a DAW. There are a number of other vids from other people on KZfaq showing how this can be done with other DAWs as well. I'd imagine (although not familiar with it) that if were using something like Ableton you could program individual buttons on the FCB1010 to trigger certain samples/clips/scenes etc. Hope that helps 🙂

@@splootyvision thank you so much!

Oops, here's the link to the video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q7upZNJp2LncqnU.htmlsi=WU5HQowUQYfhHLal Also here's a video on doing looping in Cubase (which should translate to other DAWs as well kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eqqYeZlny7_IkYk.htmlsi=7lEoS16umcwmGleq

Hi - its a mix of effects and elements within each sound, so can easily be edited for a clean tone if required. For example a lot of the organs have one of the 'amp simulators' applied in the effects section to give a bit of distortion OR there are some where the distortion is actually a 'sample' itself (individual sounds can have up to 8 elements/or different samples layered together) which again can easily be edited out if required 🙂

Hi - depends on what synth your using. For example, my MODX8+ has an 'assignable footswitch' port which is connected to the FCB1010 and I can use that to trigger the arpeggiator on and off. However, the Deepmind (which I'm triggering in the video), unfortunately I have to do by hand. It should in theory be possible through a combination of MSB, LSB and Program Change messages sent from the FCB1010, but I've never been able to get it working (I think the architecture of the Deepmind just isn't compatible with what I'm trying to do 😞)

@@splootyvision Great thank you, another question if i buy a 1010 with chip uno, is this working with software editors u tell in other video? If you know..

@@jospower8802 Hi, full details on the available editors in this video on my channel kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g9t3naqK2tXLoHk.htmlsi=EltJQSwb70L18_2X In a nutshell: The PC Editor (the first one I show) works with the UnO chip but is only available for PC (Not MAC) and then the last one, the UnO control centre also works with the UnO chip and works on both PC and MAC - but costs about €24. There’s links to the websites for each of these in the description of the video at the link above. Hope that helps, Cheers.

@@splootyvision super answer, thank you ,you're great

Interesting question. I'd probably have to say the PolyBrute - just because it has more flexibility in terms of polyphony, better effects, more controls such as the ribbon controller and the morphee and the morphing function between patches. Having said that, I love the MatrixBrute but it's a much more raw sound that needs taming ! Tbh I suppose it all depends on what else I had with them. If it were my 'only' synth it would be the PolyBrute as it covers more bases, if I already had a big analog VCO polysynth then it would be the Matrixbrute 🙂

@@rogerioalves4038 Hi, what sort of problem are you having. I’m running Windows 10 and all works ok. Can’t recall exact procedure off top of my head, but I believe it’s: Download the ‘dll’ file Copy the dll file into your VST folder (wherever you have all your other VST files) When you open your DAW it should then scan the folder and add Synth 1 automatically in your list of VSTs Hope that helps ?

@@splootyvision tks a lot for answer...I'm just starting, trying to learn, that's the first SYNT SW I'm trying.

@rogerioalves4038 No problem, feel free to give me a shout if you need any further help.

Hi there, the devices are only connected to each other via 5 pin MIDI and not to the computer and therefore are not sending any MIDI data to the DAW. Basically I can use this set up without turning on my PC. If however I want to get the MIDI data into the DAW then they need to be connected to the computer in some way, which is where I use the USB connections. It's also worth remembering that MIDI is a 'one way' communication protocol i.e. data can only be sent in one direction on a single MIDI cable. In order for a keyboard to connect with the DAW over 5 pin MIDI it would need to be connected to a MIDI interface, which in turn would connect to the PC via USB and would need to be connected by it's MIDI in & MIDI out ports in order for the keyboard to both send and receive data. USB on the other hand offers 'two way' communication and can send and received MIDI data over one cable. Hope that helps and clarifies ? 🙂

@@100roberthenry Hi, I believe the trick is to use the ‘Control Room’ (only available if you have Cubase Pro) ‘The Control Room allows you to divide the studio environment into the performing area (studio) and the engineer/producer area (control room)’ Using control room you should be able to direct the click to say your headphones only, so that it doesn’t appear in the main mix that your listeners are hearing. Tbh I’ve not really used Control Room, so prob something to investigate further 🙂

@@pituspete Thanks for the feedback. There’s a very wide level of knowledge out there from beginners to experienced and my aim is always to present content in the simplest way possible to appeal to and more importantly help the widest possible audience. The majority of feedback I receive is highly appreciative of this clear and simple approach, so apologies if you felt otherwise.

@@splootyvision don't get me wrong, it was clear and simply explained. All I was pointing out was that there's no need to go over all oscillators one by one because if someone understood the difference on two, there's no need to go over 3 and 4 as it's the same. If they didn't understand 2, they'll not understand 4 either (although I can't see how as you've made it easy to understand)😉 Imagine a video with hardware that has 128 polyphony, it would take a couple of hours 🤣

Hi - Yep, you can connect the 4 mics and send them to 4 separate tracks. For the headphones, the best bet would be to add something like a Behringer HA400 4 Channel headphone amplifier connected to the 'headphone out' of the interface. It's relatively cheap at about $35 and allows individual control of the volume for each of the 4 headphone outputs. (PS. there are various other brands available but some are much more expensive and not sure I'd trust the cheaper ones). Hope that helps 🙂

Hi - open the preset browser in Polybrute Connect (to the left of the ‘preset name’ at the top of the screen there’s an icon, 3 vertical lines with one slanted line). Then either; 1. click on ‘Explore’ and then chose ‘Banks’ from the filters above the preset list and you should find all the installed sound banks to choose from. 2. Open the preset browser as above and then just click on ‘Soundbanks’ in the left hand menu and again will show all the installed sound banks. To get the sound on the polybrute itself, just click on the required preset in polybrute connect and the sound will come up on the actual polybrute. If you want it on the polybrute ‘permanently’, you need to save the presets in a project - in the project section there is then a ‘send to polybrute’ option. Hope that helps.
